Testimonials from Teachers

"I just wanted to pass our thanks on to Steve for the invigorating and entertaining speech / presentation he delivered to our Sixth Form induction day students along with the current Year 12 students.

Right from the word 'go' Steve captivated their attention; he has the ability to include everyone, even the quieter students. Everything Steve spoke about was so exact and real, teachers and students thoroughly enjoyed the hour we spent with him and the students were still talking about it during their lunch break.

We would definitely recommend other schools, especially KS4 and KS5 to book Steve. Many thanks."

– Paula Barry, Sixth Form Manager, The Helena Romanes School and Sixth Form Centre

"We have used Steve's services each term for the past 3 years, he is a charismatic individual that has the ability to engage young people and also help them think about their inner potential and how to take action."

– Alex Atherton, Headteacher, Park View Academy

"This was Steve’s first visit to our school. We booked him to talk to our Year 11 students about applying for jobs, preparing for interviews and writing a CV. This simple brief didn’t prepare us for the amazing morning that Steve and his team delivered to our students, a fully interactive three hours of games and jokes alongside a lot of serious content on the importance of taking responsibility for your own pathway and having the confidence to make key decisions. On the feedback forms afterwards, 81% of students rated the presentation Excellent. The teachers and the students were incredibly impressed and inspired by Steve, Errol and Sandra – and we have already put in a request to book them again for Year 10 in July! As one student wrote, 'Stay awesome!'."

– Kate Allan, Coordinator, The Priory School
